Canon releases new security firmware updates for more cameras

Good to see Canon addressing the issue. PTP is a standard protocol many other cameras across multiple brands are using it I just hope all camera makers provide updates to their respective products.

FYI - The 80D is listed in this post as one of the cameras with newly-released firmware, but the latest 80D firmware shown on the Canon website is v1.03 dated August 6th, and I've had firmware v1.03 installed on my 80D since it was released back in August.

I know what I am doing when I get home tonight.........

Just checked Canon USA for the 7D mk II and they still have 1.1.2 only.

You have to go to product advisories to find it.

And it sent me to the downloads page which does not have the update available yet.

went there and i

t tells me of 1.1.3 but the dowload goes into a loop and takes me back to firmware page. can not download. anyone else get the update for the 7D MK II?

v 1.1.3 for 7D MkII is available from Canon Europe.

I think it's only relevant for 7D MkII when you use a WiFi adapter in the SD card slot. Do you?

Apparently the security problem can also arise if you connect the camera via a cable to a PC.

I thought the 77D was affected but it's not listed in the line up as available nor pending.

Apparently, Canon only issues the firmware update for cameras with WiFi/Ethernet capabilities (either built-in or available as an add-on hardware).

A cable (USB) connection to an infected PC is probably considered a risk not mitigated by these updates.

The link below should take you to the Canon Canada support page for the 7DII, the first item in the menu is the new 7DII firmware

V1.13 for the 70D was on the Canon Canada site - the US site still seems to be missing the updates.

How bizarre that the firmware download selector insists you pick a PC operating system to download camera firmware. Dear Canon, the firmware on the camera is independent of the user's computer. Perhaps you were thinking of some utility software for PC vs using the camera's built in ability?

Yes, every newer model is pending but the people who run the website and the people who program the new camera firmware versions don't seem to talk to each other much.
